Sometimes itï¿½s good to pause and to reflect upon the value and
necessity of the nursing profession.

Likely if youï¿½re reading this, you have been a nurse or held another
position in the healthcare profession for quite some time. In most cases, you
entered the field in order to provide comfort to those in a vulnerable state.
It was (and is) a vocation rather than a profession for you.

Nursing ï¿½ the healthcare industry, in general ï¿½ contributes to society
in a dramatic way. Despite new requirements and an ever-changing landscape that
can bring some stress, itï¿½s good to reflect on why nursing continues to be a
sought-after career choice.

Affecting
Quality of Life ï¿½ Patients needing healthcare are in their most vulnerable
state. Without your health, there isnï¿½t much else. Nurses are usually
compassionate people by nature. They feel for those who are suffering and in
need of a professionalï¿½s care. Nurses make a direct difference on peopleï¿½s
lives, affecting their quality of life thanks to an acute understanding of the
value of life.

Frontline
of Defense ï¿½ Nurses are the first to see and assess a patientï¿½s needs. They
advise doctors on care needed and also possible life-saving actions. The
decision nurses are making day to day can mean the difference between life and
death. The responsibility is great, but so is the reward for nurses committed
to bringing people best possible care. Patients trust you in their time of
need. Many find this reliance and responsibility fulfilling.

Constantly
Learning ï¿½ Every patient and her or his circumstances is unique. Each
situation brings its own complications; therefore, a nurse is constantly
learning from each new case. Also, the changing industry with the introduction
of new equipment and software on a regular basis keeps the job from becoming
stagnant. Experienced nurses also have the ability to mentor new nurses. Itï¿½s
fulfilling to help share your tried-and-true methods and tips with a new
generation of caregivers to help make sure patients are getting the best
possible care.

Valued In
and Out of the Workplace ï¿½ Healthcare professionals are comprised mostly of
nurses. Nurses provide advice both inside and outside the workplace. Your
opinion is valued and consistently sought out.

In-Demand
Skills ï¿½ Nursing skills will be relevant for a lifetime, resulting in
competitive salaries, career stability and career mobility. Nurses can often
choose their hours, whether that be part-time or full-time work. With the
healthcare job market picking back up to help meet the needs of new health
insurance patients, nursing is a solid career decision to this day.
